About the Item

An elegant table lamp designed by Philippe Barbier, notable for its geometric balance and the quality of its materials. This piece pairs a cubic travertine base with a monumental sphere—also crafted from polished travertine—subtly accented by elements of patinated metal. The composition relies on an interplay of simple volumes—cube, sphere, and cone—giving the piece a sculptural presence characteristic of 1970s French design. Selected for its warm cream tones and natural veining, the travertine reveals its full mineral richness through a polished finish that delicately catches the light. The central sphere appears to float between the metal elements, creating a refined and timeless visual balance. With its clean, architectural aesthetic, this lamp perfectly embodies the 1970s design movement's interest in natural materials and essential geometric forms. It serves as both a functional light source and a striking sculptural object. Its understated elegance allows it to blend seamlessly into contemporary, modernist, or minimalist interiors, as well as spaces inspired by the Italian and French design of the mid-to-late 20th century. An iconic piece of Philippe Barbier’s work, prized for the quality of its design and the beauty of its travertine. Dimensions L : 14 cm P : 10 cm H total : 62 cm Diameter lampshade : 50 cm
